Researching ways to improve performance, prevent injuries, and accelerate recovery.
This should be a great session. Hopefully, we'll get to answer some questions on pros and cons of different models for studying this difficult tissue.

Interested in injury prevention and rehabilitation in baseball? This might be an interesting meeting. I will talk about ways to possibly prevent injury and how to optimize native tissue repair after injury. It should be fun!

π§ͺ New paper alert! We keep trying to understand muscle-tendon crosstalk. Here we determined whether exosomes could explain why serum after resistance exercise makes bigger stronger tendons. Contrary to our hypothesis, it is not exosomes. The search goes on.

Following resistance exercise, systemic changes foster improved functionality of tendons and ligaments. Post-exercise, muscle tissue releases exosomesβ¦

Diabetes affects millions of people, but what if we could better understand how the body naturally regulates blood sugar? Mark Huising is leading NIH-funded research to study how beta cells in the pancreas work together with neighboring cells that secrete hormones that control insulin secretion.

π§ͺA nice piece on our research on the UC Davis Health website. The basis for this story is our recent work showing that low intensity long duration (10+ seconds) holds can increase tendon function and strength. Let me know if you have questions or comments.

Our latest work on dietary supplements on collagen synthesis in people. In this one, Thorben Aussieker gave people a blend of whey protein and hydrolyzed collagen and labelled phenylalanine incorporation into "matrix" from muscle biopsies increased. Thoughts? doi: 10.1249/MSS.0000000000003596
